Thought Leaders: "Programming will be obsolete within 5 years. All business software will be generated by AIs"Actual Businesses: "actually we're mainly still on-premise, running on Windows Server 2003 and VBScript ASP, but our two-year plan to migrate everything into a cloud kicked off in 2015 and we're making steady progress."

New business idea: I invoice your company £1000. You pay it. Then, based on my experience of how hard it is to get your company to pay an invoice, I write a detailed report about how inefficient your organisation is, why all your good engineers are leaving and you can't hire new ones, and how long I think it'll be before you go out of business.

Another day, another conference presentation where everything worked perfectly except the M1 Macbook Pro. It's a real shame. It's fast, it's light, it's mostly very good. But when it's connected to HDMI and running Powerpoint, it develops all sorts of horrible little bugs. Embedded video doesn't play reliably. Audio is a mess. Clicking 'next' on the Logitech clicker goes into 'fast forward' and flicks through every slide to the end of the presentation.

@pgv I'm curious as to why you believe that (a) "Microsoft stuff barely works on processors they've had decades of experience with" and (b) why you believe that saying as much is "not even trying to be hyperbolic".Given I'm typing this on a Macbook Pro which sometimes won't run Quicktime if you connect it to the wrong kind of TV, I really don't think Microsoft is the problem here.

Asking for help on the internet:"My head is cold. Can anybody recommend a hat? I like blue hats if that helps."Typical responses:"My head isn't cold.""You should move to Florida.""Here's some red socks I found on Google.""You know who else liked hats? Nazis!"

Anybody out there who can make an MS-DOS 6.22 boot disk on a 5.25" 360k floppy disk, put fdisk.exe and format.exe on it, and mail it to an address in the UK? A friend of mine is resurrecting some seriously old-school hardware and needs a bit of bootstrap help... :)
